The other side of the fog

foggy barbara j conneaut lake black and white monochrome

When life gets foggy,
thick and blurry,
and you can’t see as far ahead as you would like…

When there is no other direction to go
except through it…
do it!

Things are clearer
once you get through it…
on the other side of the fog.

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

After the rain

After the rain
everything is fresh
and clean
and new
and glistening
and full of hope.

Dance…
after the rain.

Cheers & Hugs,

Discover your own way

discover tree

Temperatures finally broke double digits yesterday allowing Mikey and I to get out for a short walk.

This tree captured my attention.

Every branch is discovering its own way,

and each has its own unique beauty.

Kinda like all of us…

Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

Monochrome – Life in Black & White

I love color, but sometimes, life in Monochrome is pretty cool too!

So – Yep – I get this look pretty often from these two!   But I secretly know it really means they love me a lot!   
Two of my precious boys:  Nick and Mikey.
Anybody else agree with me that they could be models?!  🙂
